The National Monuments Service's description
One of a group of ten, closely associated monuments, comprising a large, prehistoric enclosure (WI027-043001-), a standing stone (WI027-043002-) and eight hut sites (WI027-043003- to WI027-043010-). Situated in the northwest quadrant of an enclosure (WI027-043001-), and is built against the interior of the enclosure wall. The hut site survives only as a stone wall (Wth 80cm; Int. H 10cm; Ext. H 60cm) extending in a curve from south-southeast to west, at which point it is built against the interior of the main enclosure. The hut site appears to have been removed along the east and north. At this point there is a break in the main enclosure, which may have been inserted at a later point in time, and as a result removed part of this hut site. (Corlett 2004, 80-90)
